Blueberry Muffins

Today I was off work and decided to have a chillout day……….well, that was before I started looking through all my recipe books. I came across a baking book that I hadn’t used for a while. Looking through I spied Blueberry muffins and thought that would be a nice wee treat with my afternoon coffee…….so off I went into my Kitchen.

They were absolutely delicious. I also made a healthier version too, check them out here.

Pancakes

I used my Best Pancake recipe for this, it is one recipe that always works.  Light Fluffy pancakes guaranteed. This morning was a more healthier option with low fat toffee yoghurt, blueberries and a little Maple Syrup…….oh so yummy!

I love mixing up pancakes, there are so many toppings you can choose. What is your favourite?

WP_20160301_001

I normally have porridge in the mornings but this week I fancied a change but still something that was quick, easy and healthy. I came across this Mornflake Oatbran Granola and thought…..yes…that will do……and oh my….it is so delicious.

I had it with natural yogurt (Low Fat), added some raspberries and blueberries for my berry superfood fix and WOW, this was absolutely scrumptious!  My new quick healthy option breakfast.
